PEN AND PAPER

l.gaf 2006 (Kinshasa)



*Pen and paper*
 In the minigtude of my words,
 I choose to pour out my thoughts
 Only through a tongue my lover
 Understands .
 
From the noise I hear in the morning,
 I chose to let him know about my
 dark nights
 The ink of my pen dries fast,
  I only have a paragraph  
 To express my loneliness
  To cry out for help,
   
  I was advised to love better
  but he whom my heart loves
  has decided to escape from my
   Hands
 Why chase after wind
  Why look for more ink
   I am sure he never reads the paragraphs
    I kill my self to write..
